FAU Office of Financial Aid

Hi everyone, I'm thinking about applying to Florida Atlantic University and I want to look into financial aid options. How can I get in touch with their Office of Financial Aid to inquire about scholarships and other financial assistance?

Hello! It's a great idea to reach out to the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) Office of Financial Aid to learn more about scholarships and financial assistance options. You can contact them through several methods:

1. Phone: You can call the FAU Office of Financial Aid at (561) 297-3530. Their office hours are usually Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM ET and Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET.

2. Live Chat: You can live chat with someone in the admissions office at the same times listed above, or with Owlsley the Chatbot after hours. Be sure to include relevant information such as your name, student ID (if you have one), and details about your financial aid questions. You can access this chat here: https://www.fau.edu/finaid/contact/

3. In-Person: If you're able to visit the campus, you can also speak with a financial aid representative in person at their office. Their address is:

Florida Atlantic University

Office of Financial Aid

777 Glades Road, Bldg. SU-80 Rm. 233

Boca Raton, FL 33431

Before reaching out to the office, it would be helpful to gather some information to help guide your questions. You might want to explore FAU's financial aid website (www.fau.edu/finaid) to get an overview of the different types of financial aid they offer—including grants, loans, work-study, and scholarships. If you're a prospective student, it can be particularly helpful to review the scholarships section on their website, as this will provide details on the various scholarships available to incoming freshmen.

It's also a good idea to file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible, since this is usually required to qualify for most types of financial aid. FAU's school code is 001481, which you will need when completing the FAFSA.

Best of luck with your application and exploration of financial aid options at Florida Atlantic University!
